But also remember, some of the best things about bootstrapping are also its biggest challenges. For instance, if you are paying employees in equity instead of salary realize that the long-term benefits of a successful startup may be precluded by more immediate revenue streams.
Additionally, we as bootstrappers tend to be less likely to ask for or buy help when it would truly help our business. We prefer to do things our way but many times we re-invent the wheel in the name of entrepreneurial spirit. Not a bad thing, but worth remembering.
Good luck to you! I've had a great time and learned a ton so far by bootstrapping.
